Super Bowl Pick

Amarillo Slim Preston

“I have to take New England — out of necessity. (Amarillo Slim bet on New England to win the Super Bowl before the season). Everybody is talking defense, well, I wonder what they think the Patriots have got. They must have some value. If anyone disagrees with that, I’m not hard to find. Patriots 28, Giants 20.”

— Amarillo Slim Preston, legendary gambler, winner of the 1972 World Series of Poker and a member of the Poker Hall of Fame since 1992.
